織田トップ、村主は８位　スケートカナダ開幕
2010/10/30 10:11 【共同通信】

【キングストン（カナダ）共同】フィギュアスケートのグランプリ（ＧＰ）シリーズ第２戦、スケートカナダは２９日、カナダのキングストンで開幕し、男子ショートプログラム（ＳＰ）は織田信成（関大）が８１・３７点でトップに立った。

織田は３回転半などのジャンプをすべて決め、２種類の４回転を跳んだケビン・レイノルズ（カナダ）に１・２８点差をつけた。昨季の世界選手権２位のパトリック・チャン（カナダ）は４位、南里康晴（福岡ク）は６１・００点で８位。

女子ＳＰはシニアＧＰデビューの今井遥（東京・日本橋女学館高）が５２・５２点で６位、村主章枝（陽進堂）は４８・１７点で８位と出遅れた。シンシア・ファヌフ（カナダ）が５８・２４点で首位。

織田選手のすべりをさっそくYouTubeで見てみたんだけど、軽快な津軽三味線がいかにも日本的な吉田兄弟の『Storm』の音楽を選んだのが正解だった。軽快な曲に合わせて、トリプル・アクセル、トリプル・フリップ-トリプル・トゥー、トリプル・ルッツ、そして、レベル４のスピンを正確に決めた。織田選手も自分で満足のいく滑りができたようで、ジャンプやスピンにスピードがあった上に全てがパーフェクトに決められていて、まるで軽快な忍者のような演技だった。

２位には、ショート・プログラムでは史上初となる、クワドループル・ジャンプを２度決めたカナダのケビン・レイノルズ（今シーズンよりＳＰで２度のクワドループルの選択が可能になったため）、３位には米国のアダム・リッポンが続いている。シルバー・メダリストのパトリック・チャンは不調だったようで、４位に終わった。

Nobunari Oda (JPN) takes Men's Short Program
Nobunari Oda of Japan took the Men's Short Program with Canada's Kevin Reynolds and Adam Rippon (USA) following in second and third.

Oda's precise routine to “Storm” by the Yoshida Brothers featured a solid triple Axel, a triple flip-triple toe, a triple Lutz and level-four spins. He received 81.37 points. “I was nervous to skate last, but I did a good job with my jumps and spins, and so I'm very satisfied with today's performance”, Oda commented.

Reynolds hit a quadruple Salchow-triple toe combination and a quadruple toeloop to become the first skater to land two quadruple jumps in the Short Program. The option to include two quadruple jumps in the Short Program only exists since this season. The Canadian scored 80.09 points. “I was thrilled to land both (quads) the first time I've tried them in a major competition”, Reynolds said. “I didn't get level fours on everything, so I think I can improve on that. But I think it was a great start.”

Performing to Tchaikovski's “Romeo and Juliet Overture”, Rippon produced a triple Axel, triple flip-triple toe and his trademark triple Lutz with both arms over his head. The reigning Four Continents Champion earned 77.53 points. “It's my first time showing my short program in competition, and I'm really happy with the performance I gave. There are definitely a lot of things that I can improve with the overall performance of the program, the spins and the footwork, but I think it's a great way to start the season”, the two-time World Champion told the press.

World silver medalist Patrick Chan (CAN) missed his quadruple toeloop, triple Axel and fell in th footwork to finish fourth (73.20 points).
